Preface
The co-editors and publisher are pleased to present the tenth edition of a textbook that has been continuously evolving since 1976. We are also proud to announce the renaming of this text to Cohen’s Pathways of the Pulp to reflect the leadership, passion, and expertise of Dr. Stephen Cohen, who has guided the production of all 10 editions. This current edition has been completely updated and expanded to provide the latest clinically relevant, evidence-based knowledge, while also introducing exciting new chapters on subjects such as Regenerative Endodontics, Cone Beam Technologies, and Endodontic Practice Management. The companion Expert Consult version of the book has also been greatly enhanced with supplemental content available only online. With its exceptional capacity to provide continuous updates, the Expert Consult site is reflective of the dynamic nature of our specialty, empowering our readers with not only the most current clinical information available, but also with an invaluable feature that permits the downloading of any figure in the book as a PowerPoint or jpeg image for the reader’s personal study or lectures. Moreover, the online Challenge section provides self-assessment of knowledge with a unique collection of hyperlinks that connects all of the multiple choice questions to relevant sections of the text. As editors, we feel privileged and honored to offer this thoroughly updated and expanded version of the first interactive textbook in dentistry that enables the reader to continuously stay on the “cutting edge” of endodontics.
